Childhood Immunizations and Well-Child Visits

Routine child visits are important for screening and health maintenance. During these visits, children are assessed for developmental progress including motor and language skills. Hearing and vision are tested so that interventions can be instituted early. Guidance is also given to parents regarding home and car safety, illnesses, dental care, feeding, and behavior issues. Vaccinations are also provided according to the recommended childhood vaccination schedule to protect against vaccine preventable diseases.
